OK, here’s one last thing to try before scheduling the funeral. Hold the power button on, and a split-second later (or maybe at the same time), press & hold the home/menu button. It’s been known to work before.
After re-setting the device over and over again, last night it started working. I just finished updating it to the latest firmware. Hopefully it’ll continue to work now.
Thanks for all of your suggestions.
